the other shoe dropped

So we were already faced with being 1-4 going into Mondays game and knowing we were running out of wiggle room if this season was going to end up anywhere near the playoffs.

This was definitely a must win, against a divisional opponent, fighting for our lives kind of scenario.  The thought of being 1-5 was a horrible, gut wrenching thought that couldn’t get any worse.

Except it did.  Romo got hurt.  8 weeks worth of hurt. Ouch.

For all of you who like to blame the bad stuff on one guy, if Romo was your scapegoat get ready to enjoy his absence.   Kitna may give us all he has but realistically what does he have ?  Do you think he will even survive the pounding he is certain to take with our o-line ?

Last week I conceded that Wade has to go.  I hate that.  He is a better coach than what his players have shown us.  You can’t fire 53 players though and you sure can’t fire an owner. 

Now we get to see which players have the “ want to”. It’s not going to be fun or exciting but it should educational.

For those of you wanting to fire Wade now, not a good idea and here is one reason why.  There is NO COACH IN THE WORLD who could turn this thing around right now.  2 starting O-linemen out hurt on a line that was already sad.  Newman is hurt, Hatcher is hurt.  The Dallas media and fanbase would start hating the new coach before he ever lost 3 games even though he would have no starting QB.

So suck it up Cowboy fans.  A year like this happens sometimes.  I would advise you not to make any bold, rash statements about “never rooting for them @@#!% ….” again.  Next year will come.  I expect to see new faces then, it would be nice to see some old ones too.

later Poke

ps. prayers for Jon Kitna would be appropriate.

The one monday night I had off and I watched that game. That was ugly. Sometimes it is what it is.
